Rock with the Devil

A night club opens a gig where the performing bands are given a chance to become famous worldwide. There are ten to perform one song on stage. Aria and her rock band are behind to win that chance. But when she finds a book of dark power, and out of curiosity, tries to summon the devil himself to help her band reach the top. As the devil grants them the ability to play at their best, the band is kicked off to the top faster than they expected. As things run smoothly, even dark power came at a price.

1. Gig

It was an ice cold night. People gathered in line for the club's opening gig. The bouncers only let in those who were over eighteen, so every I.D was checked before entering the rope. The club was tight as it only held room for thirty people. There were bands to perform one song on stage. With hope this could be their big break as the bands were not yet famous, only few have made it.

One band chants as they hold hands in a circle, "We are going to rock." The stage was setup with a mic and stand. The spotlight lit over where a man stood on stage holding a speech card. He read through the mic, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our opening gig night. We have ten bands performing this evening. And our first tonight is a band of evil. I give you, Demoness!" He stepped away. The band prepared on stage. The lead singer was a long dark haired woman on guitar. She wore a black leather sleeveless jacket, fishnet top, a red tee, and leather pants with Demonia boots. The man on the drums wore the same jacket, but a black t-shirt and jeans with boots. His hair; dark, short and spiked. The bass guitar player, too was a woman. She wore a long sleeve leather jacket, a black tank top, a skirt, and fishnet stockings with heels. Her hair; red, curled, and shoulder-length. The one on rhythm guitar was a man dressed in all leather with shoulder-length red hair. The band began to play. The music mellowed from the start until the sound was louder. The lead guitarist started to sing in a gentle voice as the music mellowed again by the rhythm of her voice. The crowd listened quietly as they were seated at their tables. The music grew loud as the chorus broke in. Her voice changed slightly aggressive with the lyrics. Until the chorus was done, the music mellowed again. Her voice returned gentle. It went all the way through to the chorus again. And then when the band finished, the audience applauded. The curtain closed. The man came back on stage, "Demoness, ladies and gentlemen." The audience continued to clap.

The band packed their instruments in their cases and walked out backstage where other bands were prepared to be on next. One band member in line said, "Nice voice." The lead girl looked to him and replied, "Thanks." She and her band went out the backdoor for some fresh air. Her name was Aria. It's been her dream to become famous one day. She looked over at her rock band chatting, and then smiled; she loved them like family.
